Now that I'm in my fifties...memory isn't quite what it used to be. But fortunately, documented intel (via HUD and notes) replaces what I've lost in memory.  I'll miss the HUD when we go back to live games, but I'm decent at reading poker faces (though not normal faces, oddly).

But keeping notes has become quite important to my game. The other day I just sat down in cut-off and UTG shoved a monster stack. I was holding pocket Jacks, a mediocre hand at best. But before I folded, I consulted my notes. it made me laugh...

"Absolute and total liar. Will shove any two cards from any position.
Cannot be pushed off a pot...even when they've lost it."

...So I shove/called and doubled up. Their 63o did not hold up.

I also have come across some folks who play tighter than a badger's arse. I steal their blinds all day...and when they come back over the top, I just fold.

...what was I saying? Something about memory?
Oh...I forget...

In the end, the thing I need to remember is "to play my game...and not let curiosity get the better of me. " (ie do not call because you think he might be bluffing. Call because you think you have the better hand, and raise when you KNOW you do.)

Cheers,
ObbleeXY
